Avoiding unaccredited movers. A reliable furniture removal company is more than one guy with a van

Of course, we all remember our Mum warning us "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!" Then, if you're like us, you remember not taking heed - until the first time 'too good to be true' costs you a boatload of money or a lot of grief. Without a doubt, one situation where this holds true is that of furniture removal. While the figure given by that 'budget removal' outfit may sound like a steal, it's one that isn't worth risking- and here's why.

These days, you're bombarded from all directions when looking for services. Furniture removal is no different - you'll find ads all over, whether on NT News or Gumtree claiming they can provide the relocation or removal of your valuable belongings for pennies. Sometimes, these ads are posted by a person or persons that are untrained and planning on using this as a way to make a bit of money on the side. As such, they certainly won't be putting money into moving your belongings - in fact, they'll be doing everything they can to avoid investing in what's needed to keep your valuables safe. These unregulated 'movers' advertising in unregulated forums are free to make any claims they like, truthful or not - and when you as a customer find yourself met with damaged property and shoddy service, you are left with no recourse and a bill that still must be paid.

To ensure a safe and successful furniture removal process, first you should find a reputable business that has some sort of accreditation. In Australia, the Australian Furniture Removers Association (AFRA) is the nationwide body recognised as the organisation that can provides members of the public with peace of mind that its members will adhere to the highest standards of professionalism and protection while giving its members training and guidance in the realms of both legality and industry standards. AFRA accredits only those furniture removalists that have the necessary equipment, vehicles, premises and staff training needed to complete a truly professional move.
